Bounty Beach
Malapascua, Cebu
About
Bounty Beach, stretching along Malapascua Island's southeastern coast, stands as the island's most popular and main tourist beach. This picturesque white sand beach lives up to its name, offering the kind of tropical paradise setting that one might expect from a "bounty" advertisement.
The beach is lined with dive resorts, restaurants, and accommodation options ranging from budget-friendly guesthouses to more upscale resorts, making it the bustling heart of the island's tourism. Despite being the most frequented beach on Malapascua, the beach maintains its charm with powder-soft white sand and crystal-clear waters that make it perfect for swimming and snorkeling.
What makes Bounty Beach particularly special is its dual personality - in the early morning, it serves as a hub for divers heading out to the famous Monad Shoal to spot thresher sharks, while during the day it transforms into a classic tropical beach paradise where visitors can relax, swim, or enjoy water sports. The beachfront restaurants and bars come alive in the evening, offering fresh seafood and stunning sunset views across the Visayan Sea.
The beach's gentle slope and typically calm waters make it ideal for swimming, while the coral gardens near the shore provide excellent snorkeling opportunities. Palm trees line the beach, offering natural shade spots perfect for escaping the tropical sun.
During sunset, Bounty Beach provides one of Malapascua's most stunning views, as the sky transforms into vibrant colors and fishing boats return from their daily excursions, creating picture-perfect scenes that capture the essence of island life in the Philippines. Its popularity is well-deserved, as it combines natural beauty with convenient amenities and activities for all types of visitors.
